Kid Oakland Lays It Out

More clamor from the progressive rabble for a Howard Dean make-over for the Democratic party. I like where this guy is coming from. Here's how he starts:

A friend of mine had the chance to meet with Howard Dean in a small group format the other day...

Dr. Dean showed up on time, answered all questions asked, and though not a "buddy buddy" kind of guy, generally won the renewed respect of those in the room. None of that should be a surprise to anyone who's read this blog over the last two years.

When asked about 2008, however, Dr. Dean had an interesting response. He said, paraphrasing, if we don't reform this party now, and do the hard work of fixing it, if we don't shake this thing to the core, then we've already as much as lost 2008...

UPDATE:
Here's a good breakdown of who's in the running for control of the party.
